Dominic Sheard: "Playing action RPGs is a good way for me to relax and explore dungeons, smash enemies and gain powerful loot. I have been doing this with Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - my default option of choice when needing to kill things. Occasionally a new game in the genre will release to pull me away from the depths of High Heavens to check it out, which is the case with the new kid on the block, Victor Vran, a title that had completely gone over my head until it was properly released on Steam (it was in Early Access for around six months). Victor Vran is by Bulgarian developers, Haemimont Games, a company more known for their recent Tropico games rather than action RPGs. While their jump into this genre isn't without issues, the developers have placed interesting mechanics into the game to give Victor Vran just enough to distinct itself from other games in the genre."
What are the best games like Diablo? With Diablo 4 still a way off, we share some of the best alternatives currently available.
Lists Victor Vran but not even Grim Dawn. No wonder this did not get even one approval here in 13 hours.
Grim Dawn is amazing. A gorgeous game to boot.
This list is a joke.
Ah yes, Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 always come to mind when I think of Diablo.
Like, just because it has loot, that doesn't mean it's like Diablo. And it's not exactly like Diablo created the mechanic of "loot" to begin with.
What I was hoping to get out of this was maybe a hidden gem I wasn't aware of. What I actually got was a small chuckle about how much of a bad take this article was.
It’s insane often I get disconnected on Diablo resurrected, I need to give these a shot
Marvel Heroes was incredible. Really wish it could be brought back. Warhammer: Chaosbane is pretty good
It and Diablo 2 are easily my favorites.
Might like Grim Dawn most, honestly; but I haven't played the remaster yet so.
The Shadows games are pretty good. The devs are cool guys too. I reviewed the original game way back when they sent me code. They've sent me every release since, even though they know I haven't wrote for a long time.
The only one I'm reluctant to try to this day is Path of Exile. I love these types of games, and consider myself a big fan of more complicated, in-depth games, but that skill tree and the mechanics behind the game's character building is f*****g intimidating.
Grim Dawn is a solid game all the way around. I can't wait to play the D2 remaster.
Yeah, I get that, but Path is a lot of fun. I am waiting for Path 2. I've kind of played out the existing characters. Resistances are key or at least when I played it.
I'll have to check out the Shadows games. Thanks for the heads up.
Victor Vran is now available to download through Games with Gold on Xbox One.
Carlos writes: "We may have some exciting and highly anticipated releases set to arrive on Xbox One throughout October, but let’s not forget that each month also brings Xbox Live Gold members a handful of games to enjoy for no extra cost at all. Whilst last month’s titles didn’t manage to rouse the biggest appreciation from everyone, there were still some hidden gems included that made for some classic additions to our gaming collections. With September all wrapped up and October upon us, it’s time to look into this month’s selection of free Games With Gold titles and see just how good or bad they are."
Overcooked is probably the best couch co-op game of the generation, along with its sequel... so it's an alright month in my book.
Stuntman was alright from what I remember but it’s 360 game same with hitman but looks pretty average month to me.
